New Enterprise Engagement 2.0 Education Includes Rewards and Recognition Track
The new Enterprise Engagement Alliance 2.0 education program is designed to prepare executives and managers at all levels for the emerging Stakeholder Capitalism movement being promoted by the World Economic Forum, Business Roundtable, EY, and many other leading organizations. The only education program anywhere focusing on the principles of Enterprise Engagement, the program will include a complete track on Rewards, Recognition, Gifting, and the Role of Brands. Sponsored by the EEA’s Brand Media Coalition, the Rewards and Recognition education is designed to provide management and solution providers the essential “need to knows” related to the use of brands in rewards, recognition, gifting, and amenities.
The role of brands in Rewards, Recognition, Gifting and Amenity programs will be featured in a special education track as part of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance’s new 2.0 education program preparing managers at all levels for the role of “Chief Engagement Officers.” The new on demand education platform is part of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance’s Knowledge Management effort to gather and maintain expert insights on the essential elements of process design and implementation on its Human Capital Management and ROI of Engagement Youtube channel.
The program consists of about 12 one-hour programs on each topic updated annually. They feature three to four experts sharing what they consider the essential “need-to-knows.”
EEA Provides a Separate Track on Rewards and Recognition and the Role of Brands
The new education on rewards and recognition will run alongside the EEA’s Enterprise Engagement 2.0 education program to provide executives and managers at all levels with the skills necessary to serve as chief engagement officer, whatever their role. First developed in 2009 by the Enterprise Engagement Alliance under the direction of experts in all areas of engagement, the program recently was updated to include the latest information on human capital management, measurement, reporting, and return-on-investment of engagement principles. Created well in advance of the Stakeholder Capitalism movement, a new approach to business management endorsed by such leading organizations as the Business Roundtable and the World Economic Forum, the education program is designed to address the failure of traditional leadership training by equipping managers at all levels with an understanding of all the tools needed not only to engage people in the organization’s purpose and goals, but to align their interests and properly equip them by addressing all the levers of engagement in a systematic way.
Explains Bruce Bolger, Founder of the EEA, “Every manager today needs to be a chief engagement officer able to make sure each employee understands the culture and purpose and his or her role, and has all the necessary information, skills, opportunities for collaboration and innovation, proper job design, workplace diversity, etc. to optimize performance.”
The program includes a complete track on Enterprise Engagement and a separate one on Rewards, Recognition, Gifting, and the Role of Brands. Both programs will be available and promoted through multiple business information platforms, including:
